I emailed the restaurant per the website's directives to request a reservation. Asked for 2 seats…read moreat the sushi bar on a specific date, at a specific time. The reply was timely and informed me that the sushi bar was "First come first serve basis. We do not take reservations for the sushi bar. Sorry" We took our chances and went on the night I had requested, at the time I had requested. When we arrived there were 3 empty seats at the sushi bar. We were told that the seats that were open were actually reserved for friends of the owner who were coming later. I have loved this place for years but the blatant lie in their reply to the very date and time I had requested for a reservation has permanently changed my "go to" choice for sushi in Lexington, Luckily, we are no longer a city with few options for good sushi. I will be patronizing other sushi restaurants that do not tell customers that the bar is "first come first serve" when they clearly do not keep to that practice.

This is my second time at Tachibana as I came here two years agos according to my local friend who…read moreis regular here. Impressive with the authentic decor upon arrival. The wood decor made me feel like I'm in Japan. Great service and the head chef came to ask for feedback from us! Foods are so fresh, authentic, reasonable prices. I love my bento boxes. A bit of everything. Salmon are tender and not fishy at all. Beef are so umami. Sashimi is so fresh. Tempura is the correct crispiness & not oily. Our next table clients were all speak Japanese! So, we knew we are chosen the best Japanese restaurant due to their authenticity. Will come back here everytime I'm in LEX!

First time dining here. I was staying at a near by hotel and it was within walking distance…read more The restaurant itself has a cool vibe. It felt very authentic waking in. I ordered some hot sake and green tea to start off. It was frigid outside. The seaweed salad I ordered was good but the miso soup that I didn't expect that came with my order was some of the best I've had. The other salad that came with the soup wasn't great. It honestly had little flavor, but that's ok because everything else was good so far. I ordered some sushi and a beef dish for the main course. I thought the dragon roll, fried shrimp tempura roll and an eel roll sounded good tonight. I also ordered the Yakiniku beef stir fry dish. I know what you're thinking, but I haven't eaten all day. So back off! lol Everything I had was delicious. Lots of flavor. The fried shrimp roll was my least favorite, which is unusual since that is one of my go-to rolls. As for the service, she wasn't very attentive. I had to get the sushi chefs from behind the bar to help me a few times. It wasn't busy, but she may have put the priority on the bigger table she picked up. I'm a good tipper so this may have been a mistake. No worries...don't get yourself all worked up, I'll get her taken care of. Overall, I think tonight's meal experience was a hit. I'm happy with most everything I tasted. I would definitely recommend and come back here again.

Zundo offers a unique dining experience with its robot food delivery, which adds a fun, futuristic touch to the visit. While the ramen fell short for me--it lacked flavor even with the addition of garlic oil--the sushi, especially the volcano roll, was absolutely fantastic. The sushi alone is worth returning for, showcasing fresh ingredients and bold flavors. If they can enhance the ramen's taste to match the quality of their sushi, this place would be a true standout. For now, it's a great spot for sushi lovers! The service was great and the atmosphere was very pleasant, but I also think the price point for what is offered is a bit higher than other places.

I would also like to give a huge shoutout to them for having one of the best restrooms at any dining establishment. Ladies if you forgot anything they had it on their toiletry cart. I really wish that more places had something similar set up.

Volcano roll was teen approved, but rainbow roll was not great; something was off with the texture. Gyoza was DELISH. Best dish, followed by ginger dressing.
